Check this out from NASA -- Why does star cluster Trumpler 14 have so many bright stars? Because it is so young. Many cluster stars have formed only in the past 5 million years and are so hot they emit detectable X-rays. In older star clusters, most stars this young have already died -- typically exploding in a supernova -- leaving behind stars that are fainter and redder. Trumpler 14 spans about 40 light years and lies about 9,000 light years away on the edge of the famous Carina Nebula. A discerning eye can spot two unusual objects in this detailed 2006 image of Trumpler 14 by the Hubble Space Telescope. First, a dark cloud just left of center may be a planetary system trying to form before being destroyed by the energetic winds of Trumpler 14's massive stars. Second is the arc at the bottom left, which one hypothesis holds is the supersonic shock wave of a fast star ejected 100,000 years ago from a completely different star cluster. (go.nasa.gov/2Hj3nz3)
From US Ambassador Huebner's blog:
The International Space Apps Challenge is a very American approach to problem-solving which convenes folks from around the world to collaborate on addressing challenges facing humans both here on Earth and as we venture farther out into space. Structured as a mass global crowd-sourcing exercise, the event brings participants together for 48 straight hours to advertise their expertise, access the skills of others, and work together in teams, wherever they happen to be located on the planet’s surface.
Last weekend the Challenge attracted more than 9,000 people and 480 organizations in 83 cities across 44 different countries on all 7 continents, as well as online from many other locations including the International Space Station. This year our Embassy and NASA were pleased to add Auckland to the list, and I am grateful to Auckland University of Technology for providing space and co-sponsoring the event with us. My good friend AUT Professor Sergei Gulyaev managed the local proceedings.

What kind of cloud is this? A type of arcus cloud called a roll cloud. These rare long clouds may form near advancing cold fronts. In particular, a downdraft from an advancing storm front can cause moist warm air to rise, cool below its dew point, and so form a cloud. When this happens uniformly along an extended front, a roll cloud may form. Roll clouds may actually have air circulating along the long horizontal axis of the cloud. A roll cloud is not thought to be able to morph into a tornado. Unlike a similar shelf cloud, a roll cloud is completely detached from their parent cumulonimbus cloud. Pictured above, a roll cloud extends far into the distance in 2009 January above Las Olas Beach in Maldonado, Uruguay. via NASA ift.tt/232pBYp

--This photo has been uploaded as part of the NASA Remix Project--
The goal of this group is to encourage people to re-interpret and remix the great photo libarary NASA has released into the public domain. Please take this photo Remix It, make a Mashup by combing this photos with other images or textures and reinvent it into a new piece of art. Go ahead give it a try, its fun! Then post your artwork to the group pool. To view some of the best images in the group you can view our stream on flickr river. If your up for a challenge we host remix competitions every month on our discussion forum.

Outshopped from EMD in May 1970, NASA #2 is an SW1500 Class Switcher Locomotive that spent its early years on the Toledo, Peoria & Western as their #305. 13 years later in 1983 the class lll would sell three of its SW1500s, including the #305, to NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) for service at their Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Once in the Sunshine State, all three were renumbered with the #305 becoming motor #2 while her sisters became motors #1 and #3. They were also given the red, gray, and black paint scheme of the NASA Railroad.
From 1963 to 2015, this 38 Mile Class lll industrial operation linked the various industrial workings in and around KSC to the Florida East Coast Railway’s Mainline at a point near Titusville known as “Jay Jay”. It also acted as a bridge carrier, moving traffic between the FEC and the nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force (now “Space Force”) Station which also had its own industrial railroad in years past.
The NASA Railroad handled primarily bulky equipment that was otherwise too heavy to be trucked such as Solid Rocket Boosters, as well as various types of chemicals such as oxygen and helium which are used as a fuel source for rockets. Much of this traffic would fall off considerably following the end of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011 which inevitably led to the Railroad’s closure in 2015. The year prior while the writing was on the wall, NASA would donate their #2 to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami. Since arriving on the property in March 2014, the #2 has become the Museum’s primary motive power for all revenue and non-revenue operations around the property. Video from my November 2024 visit to the Museum where I saw the #2 in action: youtu.be/zl4rNjWMgKU
NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman shared this image of Yellowstone via his twitter account this morning. Wiseman later tweeted: "We cranked up our #Soyuz this morning and test fired all the thrusters. Everything worked flawlessly - ready for a Sunday departure." - @astro_reid The homebound Expedition 40/41 trio, consisting of Soyuz Commander Max Suraev and Flight Engineers Alexander Gerst and Wiseman, is counting down to its Nov. 9 departure inside the Soyuz TMA-13M spacecraft. They are packing gear to be returned home while they continue science and maintenance on the U.S. side of the International Space Station. Back on Earth, the new Expedition 42/43 crew is getting ready for its launch to the space station from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Nov. 23. Soyuz Commander Anton Shkaplerov will be joined by NASA astronaut Terry Virts and European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti aboard a Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft to begin a 5-1/2 month mission aboard the orbital laboratory.
